Remove EXIF Data
Why remove EXIF data?
Hide your location
Phone photos usually contain GPS coordinates. Anyone with the original file can see where it was taken, including your home.
Remove device details
EXIF can include your camera or phone model, serial numbers, software and timestamps.
Slightly smaller files
Metadata and embedded thumbnails add size; removing them trims the file a little.
Tips
Check first
Use the EXIF Viewer to see what a photo contains before removing it.
Orientation is kept
Photos are rotated upright before the metadata is removed, so they still display the right way up.
